Re: 3ds Max vs. Maya nowadays and in the future
Modo is great for modeling. Then I lean toward 3dsmax then maybe Maya. For animation it's the reverse. Modo still has quite a ways to go for animation but it's made a lot of great leaps in the last few releases. I hope they continue to focus on animation tools and not just catch up but leap frog ahead of the competition… -
Re: How to paint flow/anisotropic/comb maps in Photoshop.
I have been experimenting a bit with the mixer brush in photoshop. If you set the mixer brush's settings to "dry, heavy load", enable "clean brush after release" and "load brush after stroke", you basically end up with a "tube brush". You basically paint with an image now. So unlike the Clone Stamp tool, the location of… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag Wishlist
I originally voted for "I'd gladly pay a reasonable price" but after brad's comments, maybe "reasonable" is too vague... I don't think anything over $50 is "reasonable" for a model previewer. Efficiency/speed is the highest thing on my list (which I guess is the same thing as ease of use). Its the main reason I use… -
Re: village gate prop
I would hold off, and take a step back and really look at what you have. Right now, you are building everything unique and not really planning out the scene. This isn't (and shouldn't be treated as) a single asset. This is a scene assembled from multiple pieces. Taking everything into zbrush and just sculpting is going to… -
Re: Lightwave10 or Modo ?
Well honestly my Silo experience was extremely limited. I downloaded the trial, installed it, played with it for like 3 hours, then IIRC a big freelance job came in and I didn't have a chance to touch it again until after the trial had run out :( My impression of it was that it was a super fluid modeler very well suited to… -
Re: Online portfolio critique?
Lots of problems here and I don't want to type a 30 min analysis so I'll be quick and to the point and try not to sound like a bully: Resume page is awful. "-" hyphens are annoying, just get rid of them. Looks like your personal notes from a class with the hyphens. Its very spaced out and hard to read. I have to scroll a… -
Re: Some Maya issues
1. The grey ring is a reference point for the rotation axis orientation. In perspective mode its a sphere that all the rings wrap around. In an ortho view, the axis from which you are viewing overlaps with that grey ring. 2. This is a bug that's been there for several versions of Maya. It often crops up when using the… -
Re: The welfare state
[long rant] We do need a serious reform of many of our nations social services. From social security, to welfare, to government education assistance (grants, etc). I was unemployed for 2 periods of around 3 months within a 1 year timespan. For those total 6-7 months of unemployment that year, I only filed for 2 weeks worth… -
Re: Advice on lightmaps in game engines
Thanks for the suggestion, Professor420. It was something we did think about, possibly storing some of the lightmap data in the alpha channel of our texture to conserve space. But as rooster pointed out, it would only give us a greyscale colour spectrum. We need a coloured lightmap, so we'll have to use the full RGB… -
